We loved the Christmas social area as our granddaughter came to visit. We were very impressed with the resort and the polite accommodating service from the staff. We hope to return!

It was an amazing 50th birthday. The hotel was a spectacular venue due to its location on the beach and lovely newly renovated rooms. I will definitely stay there again. Having the Virtuoso benefits was priceless as we had amazing breakfast included each morning which ensured we started our day off right.

During our stay at Pendry Hotel we were so pleased with all of the perks we recieved by booking with LaJolla Mom (room view upgrade, $60 breakfast credit, $100 resort credit, wine & chocolate strawberries) we shared your information with several guests and staff members. All were unaware of your service and said they would use it themselves for future visits and recommend you to any visiting friends or family. Thank you!

Just walking around at night with all the holiday lights was awesome! I am SO happy I booked through Katie Dillion! It was so easy, didn’t cost any more than booking through the hotel and we had VIP perks, upgrades, and just felt so welcomed! Can’t wait to use your booking services again in the future!

We also give you access to exclusive discounts on theme park tickets, tours, and more. Our team’s expertise and our community of traveling clients give us insight that others lack. Join us.
